Interesting thing with the caps, Brian - the 18 cell Shulze controllers use 25.4v caps as well. In fact, most controllers aside from BK that are rated for under 20 cells use the 25.4v caps from what I have seen. BK uses 50volt caps for reference. All things being equal, I would suspect lower temps with higher voltage when geared for the same speed. And I always use a fan - cheap insurance IMO, though I agree that if a fan is NEEDED, then the setup needs work. :)
